Paint Your Way to Incredible Curb Appeal

Want to boost your home’s curb appeal, but don’t have much of a budget? A little bit of paint can go a long way in transforming the look of your home. Here’s how to paint your way to incredible curb appeal.

A pop of colour on your front door

Simply painting your front door in a lively colour can make your home look cheerful and welcoming. If the door is plain, consider hanging a welcoming sign or wreath to add a touch of colour, too. And don’t forget your doorknobs--rusty, worn knobs can be touched up with spray paint for a look that’s good as new.

Pretty plant pots

Plants can make your front porch or patio look great, but plain, boring plant pots can just look drab. Spruce up planters and pots by adding a coat or two of paint in a bold colour. They’ll provide just the right accents to catch the eye of passersby. Plus, you can simply repaint the pots whenever you want a change.

Mailbox makeover

If you have a roadside mailbox, give it a mini-makeover with some spray paint and stencils. Paint it the same colours as your home to give it a uniform, classic look, or use contrasting colours for a fun and funky one.

Paint your deck or patio

If you have a porch, deck, or patio at the front of your home, don’t settle for drab colours. Wooden porch railings and decks can easily be transformed with a few coats of paint. For stone or concrete patios, you can also use paints and stains designed especially for use on stone. Instead of washing the patio in colour, why not use stencils to create a subtle pattern that’s both eye catching and elegant? Be sure to use a good sealant to protect your new artwork and keep the design looking good for longer.

Paint your lawn accessories

Give your garden fountain, bird bath, or patio furniture a fresh coat of paint in a bright colour. These lawn accessories will draw attention to your home and help showcase its beauty.
